Who is obliged to pay alimony and in what amount? - Lawyer in Samara and Moscow

Alimony must be paid by the following persons: parents; able-bodied adult children; spouses, including former ones; other family members (under certain conditions).

1. Parents

Parents are required to support their minor children (clause 1, article 80 of the RF IC).

At the same time, even if a parent is disabled, limited in parental rights due to health reasons, the law does not provide for any exceptions regarding the fulfillment of this obligation for him (Question 18 of the Information of the Ministry of Justice of Russia dated 07/20/2015).

Parents must pay maintenance:

- for minor children;

- to children left without their care;

- disabled adult children who need help.

Alimony in favor of minor children can be paid on the basis of an agreement certified by a notary. In this case, the amount of alimony is determined at the discretion of the parties, but it cannot be less than the amount that can be recovered by the court.

If an agreement on the payment of alimony for minor children has not been concluded, they can be collected in court. The amount of alimony to be paid monthly will be determined by the court. As a general rule, the amount of alimony is: for one child - one quarter, for two children - one third, for three or more children - half of the earnings and (or) other income of the parents. However, taking into account the financial, marital status of the parties and other circumstances, such as disability, disability, the child's entrepreneurial activity, the court may increase or decrease the size of these shares.

In certain cases, when the collection of alimony as a percentage of earnings is impossible, the court may establish alimony in a fixed amount (Articles 80, 81, 83, 99, 100 of the RF IC).

The amount of alimony is established by the court, taking into account the alimony collected from the debtor on the basis of a court decision (court order) for other minor children (clause 1 of Section III of the Review of Judicial Practice, approved by the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on May 13, 2015).

Alimony for children left without parental care is collected only through the courts. The court determines the amount of alimony in the same manner as the amount of alimony for minor children. They are paid to the guardian or guardian of the child, his adoptive parents, or transferred to the account of the organization in which the child is located (educational institution, medical organization, social service organization, etc.) (Article 84 of the RF IC).

Child support for disabled adult children who need assistance can be obtained on the basis of a notarized child support agreement. In it, the parties at their discretion determine their size. If there is no agreement, then alimony can be collected through the court. In this case, their size in a fixed amount of money is established by the court based on the financial and marital status of the parties, as well as other circumstances. When collecting alimony for such children, the amount of alimony determined within the established limits to earnings and (or) other income is not applied (Article 85 of the RF IC).

Please note!

To resolve a legal dispute, you may need qualified legal assistance from a specialist, the cost of which, depending on the complexity of the case, the amount of the claim and other factors, may be significant. In the case of representing your interests in court, a notarized power of attorney for a representative may be required (Articles 185, 185.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation; Part 2 of Article 53 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).

2. Able-bodied adult children

They are obliged to support their disabled parents who need help. The exception is parents who are deprived of parental rights. They don't need to pay child support.

In addition, if the parents shied away from their duties, then when the parents apply to the court with a claim for the recovery of alimony, adult children have the right to ask the court to refuse to award alimony.

There is no minimum amount of maintenance for disabled parents.

If maintenance is paid on the basis of an agreement between a parent and a child, certified by a notary, then their amount is set in the agreement. In this case, the parties to the agreement determine the amount of alimony independently.

If an agreement on the payment of alimony has not been concluded, then alimony can be collected from the child through the courts. He will establish the amount of alimony in a fixed amount of money, which will have to be paid monthly, taking into account all the circumstances of the case, including taking into account the financial and marital status of parents and children (Article 87 of the RF IC).

3. Spouses, including ex-spouses

Spouses or former spouses may enter into an agreement on the payment of alimony, which must be certified by a notary. In this case, the amount of alimony is determined in the agreement at the discretion of the parties.

If such an agreement has not been concluded, then the following persons are entitled to demand from the spouse or former spouse the payment of alimony in court (clause 2 of article 89, clause 1 of article 90 of the RF IC):

- wife or ex-wife during the period pregnancy and within three years from the date of birth of a common child;

- a needy spouse or ex-spouse who takes care of a common disabled child until he reaches 18 years of age or for a common child - a disabled child of group I;

- an incapacitated needy spouse;

- a disabled needy ex-spouse who became disabled before the dissolution of the marriage or within a year from the date of its dissolution;

- a needy ex-spouse who has reached retirement age no later than five years after the dissolution of the marriage, if the spouses have been married for a long time.

To pay child support, a spouse or former spouse must have the means to do so.

There is no minimum amount of alimony paid by a spouse or former spouse.

The court determines their amount in a fixed amount of money based on the financial and marital status of the spouses (former spouses) and other interests of the parties that deserve attention.

It should be noted that spouses are or were persons whose marriage was registered in the registry office (clause 2, article 10 of the RF IC).
